Temperature extremes are rare and short lived, though inland areas, particularly east of the Corrib, can boast some of the highest recorded temperatures of the summer in the island of Ireland (sometimes exceeding 30 °C); though these temperatures only occur when land warmed east winds sweep the area; the opposite effect can occur in the winter. Overall, however, Galway is influenced mainly by Atlantic airstreams which bring ample rainfall in between the fleeting sunshine. Rainfall occurs in every month of the year, though the late autumn and winter months can be particularly wet as Atlantic cyclonic activity increases and passes over and around the area, and which is why Galway tends to bear the brunt of severe windstorms that can occur between August and March. The county on average receives about 1300mm of rainfall annually, though some areas along the west coast of the county can receive up to 1900mm and beyond. <a href="/wiki/Extreme_weather" title="Extreme weather">Extreme weather</a> such as blizzards, thunderstorms, flash flooding and hail, though rare, can and do occur, particularly when <a href="/wiki/Air_mass" title="Air mass">air masses</a> of continental origin are undercut by more humid and unstable Atlantic flows. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Largest_settlements_in_County_Galway_(2022_Census)"><span id="Largest_settlements_in_County_Galway_.282022_Census.29"></span>Largest settlements in County Galway (2022 Census)</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=County_Galway&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Largest settlements in County Galway (2022 Census)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/List_of_towns_and_villages_in_County_Galway" title="List of towns and villages in County Galway">List of towns and villages in County Galway</a></div> <ol><li><a href="/wiki/Galway" title="Galway">Galway</a>, 85,910</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Tuam" title="Tuam">Tuam</a>, 9,647</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Ballinasloe" title="Ballinasloe">Ballinasloe</a>, 6,597</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Loughrea" title="Loughrea">Loughrea</a>, 6,322</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Oranmore" title="Oranmore">Oranmore</a>, 5,819</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Athenry" title="Athenry">Athenry</a>, 4,603</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Gort" title="Gort">Gort</a>, 2,870</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Bearna" class="mw-redirect" title="Bearna">Bearna</a>, 2,336</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Moycullen" title="Moycullen">Moycullen</a>, 2,279</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Oughterard" title="Oughterard">Oughterard</a>, 1,846</li></ol> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Economy">Economy</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=County_Galway&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Economy"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>According to numbers published by Galway Chamber of Commerce in early 2019, there were then 196 <a href="/wiki/Information_and_communications_technology" title="Information and communications technology">information and communications technology (ICT)</a> organisations in Galway, including IBM, SAP, Oracle and Cisco.<sup id="cite_ref-chambereconomy_29-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-chambereconomy-29"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> There is a number of medical device companies in the area, including Medtronic (with approximately 1,800 employees) and Boston Scientific (2,800 employees).<sup id="cite_ref-chambereconomy_29-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-chambereconomy-29"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Sports">Sports</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=County_Galway&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Sports"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Sport_in_Galway" title="Sport in Galway">Sport in Galway</a></div> <p>Gaelic games are the most popular sport in the county.
